YEREVAN, APRIL 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The Orinats Yerkir (Country of
Law) Party is not given a possibility to use external political
advertisement. OYP Chairman Artur Baghdasarian stated this on April
17. In his words, for getting a permission to paste advertisement
posters they have applied to the respective bodies, including the
Central Electoral Commission, but they have not received any answer
by now. At the same time, A. Baghdasarian said that some prefectures
allotted places for OYP’s advertisement only on walls of buildings. And
external advertisement posters in Yerevan, in his words, mainly belong
to parties representing the power.

As A. Baghdasarian affirmed, in case of holding free and fair elections
the pro-governmental parties will not make majority in NA. And OYP,
in his words, has no problem of appearing in NA: the party has 107
thousand members and naturally, it will not only get over 5% barrier,
but also expects to receive much more votes. In A. Baghdasarian’s
words, OYP takes an active part in the agitation campaign and has
already visited Lori and Kotayk regions.
